It's official

🎊🎉 we are officially homeschooling! After a series of things happening at the school, we figured it was best to just put this adventure into the hands of God and dive on in! This is our first official day and it's been quite peaceful! The kids seem happy :-)

Spring cleaning


Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (Proverbs 3:5 NIV)


As we prepare to begin homeschooling, it has occurred to me that we have a lot of unnecessary things! So today we are clearing out and organizing. 
It's been harder to maintain my organizational OCD since I began having children, but it still lurks in the back of my mind waiting for the chance to go on an organizing bender, 😊 
The children have been really receptive to helping me prepare...I love these cool munchkins.
On another note, I ran into one of the first people that we met when we moved here and as we were talking I said, "we're transitioning to homeschooling." She looks at me all serious and goes, "we are too, I pulled him out of school last week." I know many people believe that things happen just to happen, but I believe that God has a hand in EVERYTHING (always for our good)! We exchanged numbers and plan on getting the kids together during this journey and it was definitely confirmation that we're on the right path!
As I prepare for this spring cleaning, I am reminded that it isn't always confined to your home. Maybe you need to clean out fear, doubt, stress, etc. I have definitely been made aware of my own fears and have decided that it's time to clean them out, get rid of 'em, and throw them away!
